Detailed Description

A connection to a WiredTiger database.

The connection may be opened within the same address space as the caller or accessed over a socket connection.

Most applications will open a single connection to a database for each process. The first process to open a connection to a database will access the database in its own address space. Subsequent connections (if allowed) will communicate with the first process over a socket connection to perform their operations.

Thread safety: A WT_CONNECTION handle may be shared between threads, see Multithreading for more information.

)
cache_overheadassume the heap allocator overhead is the specified percentage, and adjust the cache usage by that amount (for example, if there is 10GB of data in cache, a percentage of 10 means WiredTiger treats this as 11GB). This value is configurable because different heap allocators have different overhead and different workloads will have different heap allocation sizes and patterns, therefore applications may need to adjust this value based on allocator choice and behavior in measured workloads.an integer between 0 and 30; default 8.
cache_sizemaximum heap memory to allocate for the cache. A database should configure either cache_size or shared_cache but not both.an integer between 1MB and 10TB; default 100MB.
checkpoint = (periodically checkpoint the database. Enabling the checkpoint server uses a session from the configured session_max.a set of related configuration options defined below.
    log_sizewait for this amount of log record bytes to be written to the log between each checkpoint. A database can configure both log_size and wait to set an upper bound for checkpoints; setting this value above 0 configures periodic checkpoints.an integer between 0 and 2GB; default 0.

error_prefixprefix string for error messages.a string; default empty.
eviction = (eviction configuration options.a set of related configuration options defined below.
    threads_maxmaximum number of threads WiredTiger will start to help evict pages from cache. The number of threads started will vary depending on the current eviction load. Each eviction worker thread uses a session from the configured session_max.an integer between 1 and 20; default 1.

    archiveautomatically archive unneeded log files.a boolean flag; default true.
    compressorconfigure a compressor for log records. Permitted values are "none" or custom compression engine name created with WT_CONNECTION::add_compressor. If WiredTiger has builtin support for "bzip2", "snappy", "lz4" or "zlib" compression, these names are also available. See Compressors for more information.a string; default none.

    namethe name of a cache that is shared between databases or "none" when no shared cache is configured.a string; default none.
    quotamaximum size of cache this database can be allocated from the shared cache. Defaults to the entire shared cache size.an integer; default 0.
    reserveamount of cache this database is guaranteed to have available from the shared cache. This setting is per database. Defaults to the chunk size.an integer; default 0.
    sizemaximum memory to allocate for the shared cache. Setting this will update the value if one is already set.an integer between 1MB and 10TB; default 500MB.
)
statisticsMaintain database statistics, which may impact performance. Choosing "all" maintains all statistics regardless of cost, "fast" maintains a subset of statistics that are relatively inexpensive, "none" turns off all statistics. The "clear" configuration resets statistics after they are gathered, where appropriate (for example, a cache size statistic is not cleared, while the count of cursor insert operations will be cleared). When "clear" is configured for the database, gathered statistics are reset each time a statistics cursor is used to gather statistics, as well as each time statistics are logged using the statistics_log configuration. See Statistics for more information.a list, with values chosen from the following options: "all", "fast", "none", "clear"; default none.
statistics_log = (log any statistics the database is configured to maintain, to a file. See Statistics for more information. Enabling the statistics log server uses a session from the configured session_max.a set of related configuration options defined below.

    sourcesif non-empty, include statistics for the list of data source URIs, if they are open at the time of the statistics logging. The list may include URIs matching a single data source ("table:mytable"), or a URI matching all data sources of a particular type ("table:").a list of strings; default empty.
    timestampa timestamp prepended to each log record, may contain strftime conversion specifications.a string; default "%b %d %H:%M:%S".
    waitseconds to wait between each write of the log records; setting this value above 0 configures statistics logging.an integer between 0 and 100000; default 0.
)
